Customer Issue: RHEL7

[da-ar]

“I’ve discovered issue with pdk that prevents unit tests to be written where the operating system facts from the bundled facterdb gem are required. The operatingsystemrelease and os.release.full facts do not appear to have full coverage for RHEL releases to date (https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078) and the version number for RHEL7 seems incorrect. i.e. at a minimum I would expect to see: 7.5 7.6 7.7 7.8 8 8.1 8.2 8.3 This is the case for both our current version 2.1.1 and the latest release 2.2.0”

Hey, At Vox Pupuli we do not have access to RHEL machines. Can you provide updated factsets for facterdb? Also both facterdb versions you have are quite outdated. I don't know how pdk pins the versions, but as a facterdb maintainer I highly recommend using semantic verisoning an allowing >= 1.15.0 < 2.0.0.

We also have a rake task to generate RHEL-like factsets, that should be adjusted for RHEL it looks like: https://github.com/voxpupuli/facterdb/blob/master/rakelib/rhel_alts.rake
